Sorry to hear that, that sound scary. Is there a way for us to know if we are already being hacked before those hackers did something harmful?

@Yousif: of course making a backup does not solve the security problem but it will make your life easier when a problem happens

Backup your database regularly is a sound advice :)

Making a backup of your website isn’t going to solve the problem. There are real issues with web security when you are hosting multiple sites on a server. Even a single site on a server can have issues if you don’t have proper web security.

I encourage everyone here to contact me so I can perform some tests against your server. I’ll be able to let you know the real problems and how I can possibly help.

I got my wordpress blog hacked. Someone started deleting some of my high ranking posts and I couldn’t do anything to recover, no backup.

Got my account changed at host level but even then couldnt recover anything – so backup your posts

@VOIP Reviews,

if you’re hacked at the root level of your server, the IPs don’t factor in.

If a website is hacked chances are the others can be too. Because the other sites are on the same server config.

But different IPs do help.

If you have different IPs for your sites, but they’re still on the same server, how vulnerable are they?

I’ve long been an advocate of having popular plugins added to core WordPress software. I’ve long advocated a more stringent code testing for both WordPress core and plugins before release. It’s unfortunate that this incident had to happen to bring these issues to the forefront. While I’m at it, I’m disturbed by the growing feature differences between the WordPress.com and WordPress.org versions of the software.
